Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Liking This Girl

Qin Jian stood under the sunlight waiting for her, his stance proud and tall like a pine.

Seeing An Hao approach, his lips slightly curved upward, ”Are you done talking? If so, come with me!”

An Hao glared at him, huffed softly, and followed behind him as they walked forward.

This little girl was throwing a tantrum again!

Qin Jian couldn’t help but silently laugh; however, it wasn’t her fault, as he hadn’t communicated with her properly in advance!

The two of them walked one after the other until they reached the corner of the road, where they happened to run into the section chief’s wife Zhang Lanxiang, who had finished her grocery shopping and was looking for them.

Seeing the pair approaching, Zhang Lanxiang smiled knowingly, ”Qin Jian, have you calmed her down?”

Qin Jian looked down at An Hao, who stood by his side, and nodded slightly, ”She’s calmed down.”

Zhang Lanxiang couldn’t help but laugh loudly, ”That’s good, girl, Qin Jian is a really nice guy, you’ll know after spending some time with him!”

How could An Hao not know?

In her last life, even though she made such a fuss, he still helped her a lot.

When she was destitute and starving on the streets, he had even found her a place to stay and a job, and given her two months’ living expenses to help her through tough times.

Therefore, she was grateful to Qin Jian and had even fallen in love with him by the time she died.

In his past life, he had done so much for her in silence; this life, she wanted to repay him. If he loved her, she would take care of all the undue suitors around him, marry him, and live well together, making up for past regrets.

If he didn’t love her at all, even if she loved him, she wouldn’t cling to him like Song Yueqin. It would be enough for her to see him happy.

”Girl?” The regiment commander’s wife saw she was lost in thought and gently called out to her, ”What’s the matter? Don’t you believe what your sister-in-law says?”

An Hao came back to her senses and smiled faintly, ”I believe what sister-in-law says! My name is An Hao, you can just call me An Hao from now on.”

Zhang Lanxiang saw that this village girl was quite clever and had a pretty appearance, and her heart grew even happier, ”Good name! I like it. And I like you as a person too, sister-in-law is very fond of you.”

An Hao smiled with pursed lips, the dimples at the corners of her lips subtly deepening, ”I like sister-in-law too, I felt a kinship with you from the moment we met!”

”Really? Then this is our destiny!” Zhang Lanxiang blossomed with joy at An Hao’s words, ”In the future, if Qin Jian dares to bully you, tell sister-in-law, and I’ll scold him for you!”

”Mhm.” An Hao beamed, looking up at Qin Jian and noticing his expression was still indifferent, which immediately dampened her cheer.

In reality, Qin Jian was also happy, but remembering how An Hao had just rejected him made him feel a bit downhearted.

Zhang Lanxiang wheeled her bicycle and chatted happily with An Hao in front of them; she found that, although the girl came from a rural area, her demeanor was graceful, and her perspective was quite broad. She had a bit more simplicity than city folk, but in terms of temperament and insight, she was no less than any of them.

Suddenly, she thought Qin Jian had quite the discerning eye.

Moreover, An Hao’s subtle praises of her along the way seemed so natural and not like she was deliberately flattering to curry favor, which made Zhang Lanxiang feel especially compatible with the young girl.

This solved Qin Jian’s relationship issue, and she also had something to report back to her husband.

As they idled in conversation, they had already reached the entrance of the research institute’s family housing.

Seeing the food shop at the entrance, An Hao thought it wouldn’t be proper to go to someone’s house empty-handed. Now that she had agreed to play the role of Qin Jian’s girlfriend, she had to perform it well, considering all that needed to be considered.
